The Seafood Kitchen: Blackened Shrimp

I cooked these in my cast iron skillet and they turned out great! I also used my shrimp tongs to flip.

The ingredients:

1 lb shrimp

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

1 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp thyme

2 TBSP avocado oil

1/4 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne

1 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp salt

1 TBSP butter

Zest and juice of 1/4 lemon

The recipe:

In a ziploc, add the shrimp, oil, and seasonings and let marinade for 30 min.

In cast iron, add butter and shrimp.

Cook shrimp for 1 minute each side. 

Remove from skillet and add lemon juice.

Notes:

Service with spicy tartar sauce (see previous recipe).

Good rule of thumb add shrimp left to right once shrimp are all added start flipping from where you started left to right.
